Overeem saying Stipe tapped when he had the choke locked in. Wait what? They showed the replay?

I don't even consider Reem much of a bust.

Very torn on respecting the fact that he put himself out there for public ridicule and an ass-whooping vs. the fact that he did not earn this platform after years of complaining about guys like The Rock taking spots. If he doesn't draw 300,000 then makes UFC look a lot like Bellator. The Rock was treated as a demigod above the entire WWE roster and given a main event. Punk's fight was not the main event of this card, or even the co-main event; additionally Joe Rogan was given free reign to shit talk Punk, and while Punk may have taken a spot he also helped get a spot on the card for an unknown like Gall. Rock is also on a level of celebrity that Punk is incapable of reaching.

You know, this was pretty much a huge trainwreck.

"If you look closely, both of the Rock's feet hit the floor, therefore I SHOULD HAVE WON THE ROYAL RUMBLE!"

Nah, I'd go Cro Cop followed by Melendez, with Lombard third. Mayhem and the Reem (which, when I think about it, could be a good band name) would barely be top five. Cro Cop and the others at least won fights and put exciting moments. Miller stunk up the joint his first night in. Cro Cop went from winning the Openweight GP to getting his head kicked back to Croatia by Gonzaga. Miller is not even close.

Stipe's hand moves but, it wasn't to tap.

Punk injected a lethal dose of wrestling into UFC. 204's going to end with Henderson hitting Bisping with the belt.

Punk wants to fight again. Why? Because as badly as he lost tonight he's still not ready to give up on this. He may never get to the top of the mountain. He may get his ass kicked again and again. But he wants it too badly to just quit. Maybe it is a foolish thing to do, but I have a new found respect for Punk for having the balls to try again after getting embarrassed like he was tonight. See for me, it's more a case of 'know your limitations'. He can't do this. It's over. If he was fifteen years younger and hadn't had a vast litany of injuries, maybe. But he's nearly forty years old with that injury history and no real base of skills to build on. The only thing that could come from him going out there again is the real possibility of getting hurt very badly.

Had fun time watching and in this thread, you guys are awesome, but after being spoiled with the WWE Network I can't justify spending 60 bucks a month or even bi monthly.

This was the first UFC PPV for most of my friends and they were baffled by the whole thing, but they came away liking Stipe and wonder why I like Overeem because they thought he was just being a heel.

Joe Rogan: "I admire CM Punk for taking the chance, I really do. What he did was brave, it was courageous ... but it was delusional."

What a weird ass card. Those last three fights were about as bizarre as it gets in UFC. I feel like I should be disappointed but I can't bring myself to be.

Rock is also on a level of celebrity that Punk is incapable of reaching. He also was coming back to a business that he's one of the top draws of in history. If there was a UFC comparison, it'd be something like a Chuck Lidell coming back. Punk's analogue ain't the Rock in this scenario. Punk is David Arquette: a nice guy, succeeded in another area, but had no business being in there.

Travis Browne calling time out, Reem running away and then calling foul and asking for an instant replay...which he actually gets, the entire Werdum debacle, and to top it all of, CM Punk fighting.
